Popis: OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We are investigating the role of IL-6 in regulating renal function by measuring mean arterial pressure (MAP), renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in wild type (WT) and IL-6-knockout (KO) mice in established mouse models of angiotensin II (AII)-dependent- hypertension and -salt-sensitive hypertension. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Twelve-week-old male WT and KO mice on the C57BL6 background strain were infused with vehicle (V; saline) or angiotensin II (AII; 200 ng/kg/min) for 12-14 days. Half of the AII-treatment groups were maintained on a high salt (HS; 6% NaCl) diet for the duration of the experiment, while the other half of the AII treatment groups and both vehicle groups were fed normal rat chow. MAP was continuously measured by a fluid filled catheter in conscious mice for the duration of the experiment. RPF and GFR were measured on days 12-14 in anesthetized mice by the para-aminohippurate, and fluorescein isothiocynate-Inulin techniques, respectively. All data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA; *p
